Chapter 173: The Lost Sister
In the evening, Count Lutga sat down on the chair of the study with a very tired expression, and he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Today, too many things happened unexpectedly.
Hilda had been kidnapped by an unknown monster, and the bare light light had almost driven him insane. However, as the lord of this city, he could not appear overwhelmed in front of the people who were panicked by the changes in heaven and earth.
Now, his three daughters have returned to the city, but their mental condition is very bad.
First came Elize, who fell into a coma after unleashing a pitch-black giant magic, and although she came to her senses soon after, she didn't say a word and locked herself in the underground 'research room' without saying a word.
Sophia remained calm on the surface and reported to herself that she had been attacked by the Goddess Cult on the top of the Holy Tower in Inoses, and although she successfully defeated and captured her opponents, she was unable to stop their scheme. In other words, although I don't know what the reason is, the tragic situation that fell into this situation today was the work of the Goddess Sect.
Probably because he didn't have time to stop his opponent, or because he made a mistake in judgment at a critical moment and had a sense of responsibility, Sophia's indifferent expression was full of murderous aura, and even as a father, he didn't dare to approach her rashly.
At last...... Alice, Alice was a knight of her own junior, and now a seat of the 'Blade of Legends' - Senilo?? KuliΔ sent him back to the city. For Senilo's background and personality, Lutga is a young man with an unruly personality, born in the slums of the port city of [Regedia], although he has his own unique values, but he is still an upright knight.
He was blunt about why he was here - he was ordered to come here to assist the Goddess Cult, to attack and try to capture his daughter, and to take Alice hostage to coerce Lutga into doing something.
During the battle with Charlie, the deputy commander of the garrison, the mad orc regiment he brought was completely wiped out, and the duel between the two had to be terminated because of a sudden vision from the sky. In the end, Charlie was left alone to stop the attacking monsters, allowing him to escape with Alice, who was unable to act due to poisoning.
That is, Charlie is dead......
For five years, the man who had been assisting him passed away without warning. Although in this world, as a soldier guarding the city, he is facing death all the time, but this bad news came too suddenly, so that Lutega couldn't help but feel a piece of his heart was dug out.
"Senior Rutega, even if my mission fails today...... Your subordinate's name is Mr. Charlie, right? Today, thanks to him, I picked up a small life, so this time, I will send your daughter back with both hands. Anyway, I didn't leave anyone alive, so no one would know that I deliberately let people go......
But remember, senior, your recent actions have deeply disturbed the magnates of the Imperial Capital, and I believe that in the near future, they will do everything in their power to attack you and your daughters. It's not just me the next time I'm here......"
Leaving these words behind, Senilo followed his 'knightly path', paid tribute to the self-sacrificing Charlie and repaid it, and then left Celestia straight away, which I have to say, is very much in line with his style all along.
But his words left a disturbing bane. The implication is that in the near future, Lutga will have to face the entire Imperial Army and all seventeen knights of the 'Legendary Blade'.
In fact, the Celestial Alliance does not have the strength to be the enemy of the entire empire at all, because today's mutation has made the 'Alliance' itself shaky. Because in the eyes of the people of the Alliance, the inexplicable upheaval from heaven was undoubtedly a calamity summoned by Rachi's blessing ceremony. After all, ordinary people don't know what small actions the Goddess Sect is doing behind the scenes.
However, these are only secondary issues for Rutega. The main problem is still his daughters...... Hilda.
Just now, Alice and Sophia had an argument...... No, it may not be enough to describe the conflict between the two of them. Just recalling that scene can't help but make Lutega's heart tremble.
The cause of the dispute was that after Alice forced the toxin in her body, she immediately got up and wanted to rush to the farm to rescue Charlie, but was stopped by Sophia.
"Gotta go back and save Uncle Charlie! he's left there alone!"
"No, it's too late. Now is the time to concentrate all your forces and strengthen the city's defenses. Then find a way to get in touch with the cities of the alliance. Trying to find an excuse to appease their ......"
"Fart!Does it matter that those damn bullshit leagues have Uncle Charlie!?"
"Sister Alice, Uncle Charlie has already been killed, and there is no rush to recover his body. And isn't the 'bullshit alliance' you call exactly what you came up with on a whim? Please take responsibility for what you do. β
"How do you know uncle, he's ......!"
"How much time do you think has passed since then? I also encountered and engaged those demonic beasts that attacked you on the road, and the fighting ability of that thing is undoubtedly superior to that of any member of the [Knights of the Luna], and Charlie's uncle alone has no chance of surviving against ten horses. β
"Little sister, that's a subordinate you cultivated single-handedly!, why can you put on such a cold expression!?"
"Sister Alice...... Don't get me wrong......"
Just as he said this, Sophia's long-suppressed thick murderous aura burst out in one breath, and it is not an exaggeration to say that if a timid person is afraid that he will be frightened by this rush to get up, even Rutega's legs can't help but tremble. And at the same time as releasing such a murderous aura, Sophia pulled Alice's neckline with an expressionless face-
"Isn't it your sister who killed my subordinates? I warned you in the newsletter before that you should evacuate as soon as possible, right......! I'm tired of watching your third-rate game of playing heroes...... The battlefield is not your playground. β
"Sophia!!"
Alice was so annoyed that she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only shout her sister's name as if venting, and push her away with the fighting spirit of a golden dragon.
"Hmph, that's too weak. β
Sophia rolled in the air in a half circle and landed steadily, she snorted coldly and said, but in fact, the blow released by Alice was definitely not 'weak', and if it was a tree or the exterior wall of a building, I am afraid that it would be easily pushed by this force.
"Sister Alice, this is a good opportunity, it seems necessary to make you realize how weak you are, so that you don't do anything stupid in the future. β
With that, Sophia pulled out the weapons on her legs and waist. Then, the figure turned into a black mist and dissipated out of thin air.
βοΌοΌβ
By the time she reappeared, she was already entangled with Alice, and the pitch-black blade slashed at her sister's vital point impartially. Sophia's murderous aura is genuine, making it impossible for onlookers to doubt her determination to kill her own sister.
Alice's reaction was swift, the golden fighting spirit and the killer shadow blade burst into the air, and the two exchanged moves at a speed that others could not see, attacking and defending quickly. Both of them are ridiculously powerful, but the decisive victory is only in the blink of an eye.
When she came to her senses, Alice was crushed to the ground, her arms twisted behind her waist and unable to move, and Sophia rode on her sister's back in a ferocious manner, sticking the blade of her hand into Alice's neck. It can be seen that the blade has cut through a layer of snow-white skin, and Bobo's blood is flowing down the blade.
"Again, you've become weak, too weak, Sister Alice. The time when 'killed me' was much stronger than it is now...... In the battle, you don't even have a little murderous energy, you are just a tiger with teeth pulled out. Starting today, Sister Alice, you don't have to be involved in any battles.
Whether it's the Knights or the Alliance, leave it to me...... It's the same with Sister Elize's side, her scrap copper and rotten iron that has broken off the chain can't be relied on at all, so everything about the territory and alliance in the future will be ...... by me!"
In his usual state, Lutga's ability was powerless to stop the battle between his daughters at all, and he could only watch the scene of "my sister being bullied by my sister".
Therefore, at this time, the heavy responsibility of stopping the sisters from fighting naturally fell on the 'mother'. I saw that the 'dragonstone' hanging from Laki's chest radiated a cold glow, and the blue ice pick rose from the ground, separating Sophia and Alice at just the right angle.
If it had been customary, Ratchey would have picked up and hugged Alice lying on the ground. But today, in the opposite direction, it is going in the opposite direction. She didn't reprimand, didn't even say anything, just quietly, gently hugged the angry girl into her arms from the front.
"Hmm...... Don't be patient, it's hard. β
I don't know what the meaning of Ratchi's words contains, but Sophia didn't resist, she just maintained an upright posture, her shoulders trembled slightly, and let Ratchey hide her expression at this time. Perhaps, the behavior at this time is a kind of electrocardiogram between mothers and daughters with similar temperaments who can understand each other.
At this time, Alice, who was covered with mud, slowly got up from the ground, the fighting spirit on her body was gone, and she did not have her usual vitality, she was just facing the fiery sunset, leaving her back without saying a word, and walked slowly towards the outside of the house with shaky and aimless steps.
At this time, there was no one to stop her, because anyone could see the girl's loss and abandonment from the back of the depression.
When he came to his senses, Lutga was still alone in his study, and he no longer knew how to appease his daughters, but felt that he was an incompetent father.
All this time, he could only watch the situation uncontrollably, and he knew that it would never work to remain indifferent...... Something had to be done. For her daughter, for Hilda, and for herself.
